VIDEO : Jason Blum Claims ?There Aren?t A Lot Of Female Directors?

The new Halloween film has stirred up so much enthusiasm, not only by wiping the sequel slate clean but by setting up an epic Michael-Laurie battle, that it?s currently tracking for a franchise-best opening weekend. Our own Vince Mancini calls it a solid homage (but maybe too tasteful?) to John Carpenter?s 1978 original film, so all around, it looks like Blumhouse Productions has yet another hit on its hands. Blum and friends can seemingly do no wrong with their cost-effective ways, but it hasn?t gone unnoticed that none of the dozens of Blumhouse Production films (since 2007) have been directed by a woman.
